Micro 'pizza layout' with 9 mm gauge track in 7 mm scale (09 scale) An important aspect of any model railway is the layout of the track itself. Apart from the stations, there are four basic ways of arranging the track, and innumerable variations: Continuous loop. A circle or oval, with trains going round and round. Used in train sets. Point to ...
1:29 G scale boxcar by Aristo-Craft on G gauge track 1:32 scale 2-bay offset hopper by Mainline America. G scale or G gauge, also called large scale (45 mm or 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches), is a track gauge for model railways which is often used for outdoor garden railways because of its size and durability.
This scale is closely aligned with the "micro layout" movement. IIm scale: 1:22.5: 45 mm Similar to G scale above, this scale also uses 45 mm (1.772 in) gauge track, and is used for both indoor and garden railways of narrow-gauge prototypes. It depicts 1 metre gauge trains in exact proportion to their correct track gauge. 1 ⁄ 2 inch scale: 1: ...
Many names, particularly those of British origin, such as O14 and 00-9 combine the name of the scale used with the physical measurement of the gauge, i.e. the 7 mm-to-the-foot scale from standard O gauge with a rail gauge of 14 mm, giving a precise representation of 2 ft (610 mm) prototypes.
A weight training bench is a piece of exercise equipment used for weight training. Weight training benches may be of various designs: fixed horizontal, fixed inclined, fixed in a folded position, with one adjustable portion, with two or more adjustable portions, with racks to hold bars, etc. In the limit, the definition of a bench blurs into ...
The largest common scale is 1:8, with 1:4 sometimes used for park rides. G scale (Garden, 1:24 scale) is most popular for backyard modelling. It is easier to fit a G scale model into a garden and keep scenery proportional to the trains. Gauge 1 and Gauge 3 are also popular for gardens. O, S, HO, and N scale are more often used indoors.

H0e scale. A pizza layout is a model railway laid out as a circle of the smallest workable radius of curve, on the smallest possible square or circular baseboard. This baseboard can be so small as to look as if it would fit into a pizza box, hence the name. [1] [2] [3] Pizza layouts are not serious scale models, but are to provide a little humour.
George Sellios was the owner of Fine Scale Miniatures (FSM), a business dedicated to producing detailed model kits of structures for model railroad enthusiasts. He is also an accomplished modeler and is well-known in the hobby for his layout, the Franklin & South Manchester Railroad which attracts visitors from around the world.
